| WASABI (2001) | |
|
|
A tough Parisian cop, Hubert Fiorentini (Jean Reno), accidentally beats up the Police Chief's son and is asked to take some time off. In the process, his long lost love of 19 years back appears to have died and has given him everything in her will. This means that he has to go to Japan and as he arrives he also finds out that he has a daughter that is now 19 years old who has developed a huge dislike for authority. In addition, there is a bank account with 200 million dollars in it and someone is trying to threaten him and his daughter in order to get it. A question remains as to where the money came from and who is after it. Wasabi is an action comedy that plays with parody as Hubert drags along his huge .44mm Magnum Smith & Wesson, however, the story gets lost in the jokes. This serves as the foundation for a cinematic experience that is neither remarkable or common. |
